Wayne Ashford Racing: Testing
http://waracing.blogspot.com/2008/07/testing.html
July 4, 2008. I recently managed to squeeze a test in at Rye House in between clearing the garden and trying to finish the bathroom - a welcome break! The weather was extremely hot so the tyres which were just about on there last legs would definately get a work out. With me was my best mate Vince (grandson of the author of retiredandcrazy.com) and the racer with the best sideburns in karting - Chris Kasch. Not at all, it means that the kart works and now I just need to work on my driving, easy huh!

Wayne Ashford Racing: 2008 Review
http://waracing.blogspot.com/2008/12/2008-review.html
December 30, 2008. It's been an interesting year, I have learnt a lot about driving although my time in the seat has been less than I would have prefered - racing took a back seat whilst Rachel had our first baby. Chloe Louise Ashford was born on 9th July, weighing in at 6lb 13oz - she has been piling on the weight ever since and is now a very healthy little girl. The car is an absolute work of art and has been entered into the British GT championship, a place where I would dearly love to drive - i'll be...

Wayne Ashford Racing: It never rains...
http://waracing.blogspot.com/2009/06/it-never-rains.html
June 23, 2009. Not the weather, my luck. The idea of the run up to the Kimbolton meeting was to get 2 solid days of testing in on the Thursday/Friday followed by official practice on the Saturday then all the racing. Thursday was cancelled due to track damage by the weather so that didn't work. Friday was the day when many things decided to break on the kart so the day was spent firefighting but the positive I took from the day was that it was all sorted for official practice. The tyres would just grip a...

Wayne Ashford Racing: The Finished Article
http://waracing.blogspot.com/2008/01/today-i-finished-kart-build-and-i-must.html
January 21, 2008. Today I finished the kart build and I must say i'm very pleased with it. Had a slight hitch when I tried to fit the starter motor and found that the shaft was not long enough due to the new wider bodywork! A slight modification using a 6" extension bar and a mig welder sorted that out. The kart runs and sounds awesome, the carb needs setting up and the geometry will need some fine tuning trackside but now all that is left to do is drive it! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wayne Ashford Racing: Better late than never!
http://waracing.blogspot.com/2009/06/better-late-than-never.html
June 10, 2009. Better late than never! This weekend see's my first MSA race of 2009, well we're only halfway through the year! I am taking part in the East Anglian Trophy at Kimbolton which celebrates their 50th anniversary. I have given the kart a good service and fitted new tyres which should help me. The carburettor has recently been ultrasonically cleaned by my good friend Dr Snitz Ph.D, I rebuilt it using new parts so it should give give performance.

Wayne Ashford Racing: Kimbolton race report
http://waracing.blogspot.com/2008/10/kimbolton-race-report.html
October 15, 2008. Sunday 12th October saw my first meeting at Kimbolton and it turned out to be a bit of an adventure! Saturday I tested with Chris Kasch and had the excellent help of former Brunswick employee Richard Oakervee on engineer's duty. The test started off well with the 2nd session showing a time 2 tenths quicker than last months PB but I was sure more was to come. The second race was a real confidence boost and after picking my way through the usual carnage I got some free space and set a new...

Rethink Street: Bumper Cars and a Castle
http://rethinkstreet.blogspot.com/2015/01/bumper-cars-and-castle.html
Friday, 2 January 2015. Bumper Cars and a Castle. Christmas was jolly and everyone seemed happy enough. New Year's Eve was low-key but fun, as I had an old friend to stay. The house is halfway to tidy, and 'normal' life is trudging slowly over the horizon towards us. At Alexandra Gardens. Apparently the highlight of the afternoon was crashing and zooming around on the bumper cars - that timelessly reliable form of entertainment. This time it was just Teen-Girl-L (and a friend) - they are old enough to go...
